Carbon Braking Surface

1.
All of our carbon wheels use high TG resin ceramic fiber composite reinforced
braking surfaces to maximize performance when braking: Under heavy use and
high friction, ie. periods of hard braking, the rim keeps lateral specification
with a significant reduction in the thermal expansion on the braking surface as
compared to ordinary carbon fiber rims. It also offers a longevity to the rim
that products of the past could not.

The special alloy
contains manganese (Mn) and niobium (Nb). The melting point of niobium (Nb) is
2300℃, and aluminum (Al) is
620℃. Due to tremendous
different melting points between these elements, how to alloying is a very
difficult task in materials science.

Super Alloy—KLM41, aluminum alloy containing niobium, by unique
technology and refining technique. Equipped tight-knit structure and fine-textured
surface specialty, this alloy offers tensile strength twice that of
conventional alloys. This material has been successfully applied to the
fabrication of high-grade series products.
